Keep up the good fight Bishop Earl Fernandes! Ephesians 6:10-20 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
I was a university professor for over 30 years(not at OSU). Looking at the congregation on this tape and others on you tube, I see very few students, i.e. 18-22 year olds. Most of them look like they are the parents or grandparents of students. Perhaps a lack of young people is part of the problem here???
The parishioners do not guide the Church. They are encouraged to be obedient to the gospel. When they are not they can reconcile through confession and penance. The bishop is right.
2:00 - 2:11 The bishop offers the Paulists the opportunity to stay and act as chaplains, as long as they "answer to the diocese." They decline the offer because they don't want to be obedient to the bishop. All priests are under the authority of their local bishop and/or religious superior. If the Paulists are refusing to recognize the legitimate authority of the bishop of the diocese in which they are ministering, they *should* leave in order to retain their integrity. Otherwise, they would just be lying about being in good standing in the local church.
Colleen, there is no reason for him to speak to members of the Newman Center. He is our Bishop, and he made it clear why he wanted to have diocesan priests at the Center. When the Paulists decided then did not want to be under the direction of the Bishop, they were making the decision to no longer minister at the Newman Center.
1 Timothy 3:1-5 [1]This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. [2]A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; [3]Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; [4]One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; [5](For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
@@Seethi_C That he wanted to "partner" (partner implies there is some kind of co-equal arrangement) with the Paulists. That he is surprised by the negative reaction of the parishioners, who he never even talked to (because he was scared of the bad publicity) prior to his decision. He may not be technically lying in a legal sense, but he is not being truthful.
It would be refreshing if he would just admit that he is trying to drive out more progressive elements in the Catholic church. It's not like there isn't a base of supporters for this kind of action. He is not honest about his intent.
That is why I Left this church! The Catholics are going back into mid evil times, you do as I say I am the church, when God says We together are the church.

Where these people getting the idea that “all are welcome” wouldn’t still be the case?

The main issue here obviously is lack of obedience.
Don't donate money it's the parisoners who support the parish with money.

They were welcome to stay but didn't want to.
Extremely bad form for a priest to complain to the media about being moved. Imo that alone takes away a lot of the sympathy I might have had for them.
You can’t just focus on psi students
The guy in the jewelled hat cannot be trusted.
YOUNG AND ARROGANT BISHOP. HE'S GOT A LOT TO LEARN. BISHOP: YOU HAVE NOT BEEN OPEN YOURSELF!
He will be pushing the liberal modernist agenda of pope francis and he will be welcoming the lgbtq to all the churches in his diocese. 🤷♂️
The bishop is a liar.
What did he lie about?
@@Seethi_C That he wanted to "partner" (partner implies there is some kind of co-equal arrangement) with the Paulists.

@@antonymous23 how the hell do you know his intent? FYI, I think you are spouting nonsense!
He absolutely is not a liar.

True and interdiction like prereformation. No democracy
You left the church because the hierarchy was established through apostolic succession? Or because it preaches truth?
I suppose you know better than Jesus and the Apostles. You are the reed shaken by the wind
@@TXRangers5807 I am a Pastor now. The Priest never helped or gave real guidance. God bless 🙏
@@dennisrankin9508 you aren’t a pastor. You are a heretic
